<p>Data are means ±SD unless indicated otherwise. TG, INS, HOMA-IR and HOMA-β are shown as median and range. NAFLD: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; CHD: coronary heart disease. BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; TC: total cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; FBG: fasting blood glucose; PBG: 2 h post-challenge blood glucose; FINS: fasting insulin; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HOMA-β: homeostasis model assessment of β cell function; optimal LDL-C rate: the proportion of patients with optimal levels of LDL-C; optimal non-HDL-C rate: the proportion of patients with optimal levels of non-HDL-C. The optimal levels of LDL-C and non-HDL-C were defined as: LDL-C<100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) and non-HDL-C<130 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0105698#pone.0105698-Miller1" target="_blank">[7]</a>.
